Where in the world can you swim in geothermal waters, stand on an ice-cap, observe an active volcano and bubbling geysers, walk across a desert and marvel at a black sand beach all in one day? The answer is Iceland.

Iceland is a living laboratory where nature’s land forming processes are so easy to see. The cycle of raw material (magma) to solid rock, to regolith and the various weathering, erosion and transportation processes are manifestly clear to the student. Iceland has been described as the ‘Land of Ice and Fire’ in view of the stark distinction between erupted magma and huge streams of ice. Iceland is an incredibly beautiful land of contrasts with fertile valleys, cascading waterfalls and tranquil fjords contributing to a softer side.

This spectacular island in the mid-Atlantic offers your students a multitude of experiences, from exploring a range of subject areas to walking and adventure pursuits in the country's awe-inspiring landscape - Iceland will provide your students with an invaluable educational experience.
